• Sommario/riassunto: In 2003, state courts began to address the constitutionality of state statutes limiting marriage to heterosexual couples. Federal law does not recognise same-sex marriages. This book discusses the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriages. It examines homosexuals in the US military.
